The best netbook ever?
Netbooks, in a variety of applications, are certainly among my favorites. After all, they’re cheap, they do most of what we need them to do, they fit well in backpacks, they’re cheap, and, oh yeah, they’re cheap.
Intel’s Classmates aren’t quite as cheap, but offer huge value in terms of their software stack and as entry-level rugged tablets. Enter the Lenovo Ideapad S10e. We just picked up several for a small lab with a special education program and as meeting/presentation machines for staff.
Where this netbook absolutely shines is in its keyboard and touchpad placement. The 10.1″ form factor gives room for a generous keyboard that feels wonderful and begs for touch-typing. The small shift key takes some getting used to, but the keyboard feel is all Lenovo/IBM/Thinkpad.
